Linux-specific sysvars in Bricscad V12

Today's the day that Bricsys (finally!) launches Bricscad V12 for Linux at www.bricscad.com. Since the Linux version is so similar to the Windows version -- 2D and 3D constraints, direct editing, quad cursor for just $675 -- I thought I'd just list for you the names of system variables specific to the Linux version:

The references to "tabs" are Excel-like tabs for quickly switching between drawings, and the the reference to "window list button" is a button that lets you move Bricscad to another workspace. (Linux comes with four workspaces, by default -- something Mac users know about, but probably not most Windows users.)

TIP: If you want to try out this software, but don't want to dedicate a computer to Linux or even bother with a dual-boot system, Bricscad V12 for Linux mostly works running in a virtual machine, such as Oracle's VirtualBox. I recommend Mint Linux.
